Eskom announced on Tuesday that it will implement a stage two loadshedding from 5 pm this afternoon until 5 am on Monday, 8 May.
According to the power utility, the latest implementation of loadshedding is due to a shortage of generation capacity.
“This loadshedding has been caused by a shortage of generation capacity owing to delays in returning generators to service, as well as breakdowns of nine generators. Eskom will continue to monitor the system and implement any changes as required,” Eskom said.
